The endurance racing car that I work with runs about 2:45 to 3:00 stints on fuel (depending on the track and FCY's). The longest we've run is 3:20 at Miller.
So at Thunderhill, that's about 90 laps and 1350 corners.
Most cars can't run as long as us on fuel. Most are at/around 2hrs and will sometimes double stint a driver. We can't double stint, 6hrs is just too long so we change drivers on every stop. Our best drivers will wind up with 3 stints and one or two of them will have 2 stints for a 25hr race.
